Right-Wing Continues To Deny Right-Wing Terrorism
Do we want to vote for President Obama, who has an iron clad record of killing terrorists and preventing attacks on American soil? Or do we want Gingrich, a man who has stated that the government should allow terrorist attacks to get through from time to time just to keep people afraid?
When you consider what is left of the Republican presidential candidates--Santorum, Romney, Gingrich, and Paul--you have to wonder who will best convince the American people that they are the best choice for the office of POTUS?
If there are two things that Republicans want us to believe, it would be these: 1. Barack Obama’s economic policies are a failure which made the recession worse. 2. Ronald Reagan was an economic genius who should serve as an example of how to improve the economy.
Unemployment is going down but is still at an unacceptable number. People in this country are hurting. So what are Republicans talking about? Contraception. And women aren't invited to the conversation.
Whatever you attribute it to, Obama's approval is on the rise, and not just nationally, in the all important swing states.
Now that it has proven futile for Republicans and conservatives to poo-poo last month's jobs' report, the only logical alternative is for them to accuse the Bureau of Labor Statistics of cooking the numbers to make them look better than they actually are for the President.
Hear it? That’s the sound of the air escaping from the Republican balloon. The news that the economy netted 243,000 jobs in January dropping the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent
To hear Fox News, AM radio and the GOP speak of it, you would not think there is a problem with domestic terrorism in this country
The private share of payrolls under President Obama rises a bit above the private share under President Reagan. So if President Obama was a socialist as alleged, that'd make President Reagan a socialist
At a rally on Monday in Colorado, Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney accused President Obama of “infringing upon Americans’ religious rights” for allowing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to require some religious institutions, including schools and hospitals, to provide coverage of birth control to their employees.
Tonight's inspirational Super Bowl ad featuring Clint Eastwood on behalf of Chrysler is another in a long line of befuddling artistic and socially conscious choices by the famed filmmaker. You see, Eastwood didn't vote for the man who saved Detroit, he went with the other guy.
When your stated goal is to make Obama a one term president, sabotaging the economy is the best tool for the job
A day after Mitt "Moneybags" Romney stated his lack of concern for the economically disadvantaged (an old school Republican touchstone), President Obama shot back by finally using the right-wing's bullets against them.
Responding to a plan President Barack Obama proposed Wednesday to help responsible but adversely effected homeowners refinance through a direct landing program, House Speaker John Boehner said 'none of these programs have worked' implying a GOP refusal.
Presidential nominee Newt Gingrich has decided to continue on with his pity party about how unfair the lame-stream media is by declaring that he will not participate in any presidential debates with President Obama if the moderators are media journalists
Here are a few good progressive stories from the past few weeks that we'd like to briefly highlight.
January 29th was the third anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, enacted by the 111th United States Congress, and signed into law by President Barack Obama. It was the first bill Barack Obama signed into law as a brand new President.
One interaction that has been making the internet buzz, especially in right-wing circles, was when a Republican woman asked the President why H1B Visas are being issued when there are unemployed engineers, like her husband, who's a semi-conductor engineer.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) wants to bring America down. How do we know this? He said so during an appearance on Chris Matthews. In that interview, Lee said that he would bring America down if Democrats didn't vote to force the American people to live under conservative rule via a Constitutional amendment.
Racism is alive and well in the United States of America. Jan Brewer was more than happy to demonstrate this as she greeted the President on his recent visit, a visit which has been captured for immortality by an infamous picture.
That he is vehemently anti-choice should come as no surprise to anyone, but even the staunchest “pro-lifers” wouldn’t be stupid enough to say something this insensitive.
In the fierce battle between Next Gingrich and Mitt Romney for second place in this year’s presidential campaign, the two top Republicans have become the President’s best aides for his reelection.
When was the last time you heard anyone talk about 'shared sacrifice' and 'austerity?' Exactly.
Not surprisingly the GOP selected a man that knows nothing about sane economic policy to deliver their SOTU rebuttal. In other words they selected George Bush's budget director
President Obama continues to prove that swaggering like a drunken cowboy is no replacement for competence in combating terrorism.
In the event that the official Republican response to President (well, campaign Obama) Obama's State of the Union Address wasn't quite bizarre and hateful enough for you, you'll have the opportunity to blow chunks twice as there will be a Tea Party response as well.
It's typically said that an election year State of the Union speech is a hint at the campaign strategy to come. I have little doubt that tonight's speech by President Obama was exactly that, with some comfy pillow cushioning to soften the rhetoric. It's also clear that Occupy Wall Street has made an impact...
President Obama often lends his voice to the equality of all individuals, but in the scope of things he has overwhelmingly shown support for the LGBT community. May I please ask the naysayers to look at what has been accomplished in only two years, rather than act as though he hasn't done enough. He...
Gawker.com is reporting that Andrew Adler, Owner/Publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times editorialized that one of the ways Israel could deal with its problems was to assassinate President Obama.
While there is probably no video compilation that could cover the entire breadth of comments by the 'blame yourself' party, for now, this will have to do.
Ron Paul has some of the most rabid supporters of any politician alive today. Here's how President Obama can capture some of those voters for himself.
Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius announced today that birth control will now be required coverage in the vast majority of employer sponsored health insurance plans.
Newt Gingrich is leading South Carolina in several new polls and his violent rhetoric towards President Obama may be the reason why.
There's a fine line between disappointment and throwing a temper tantrum. Why is it that understanding that Obama is not perfect makes one an "Obot Apologist?"
The Obama Administration today called the GOP's bluff by rejecting the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, a 1,750 mile, $7 billion proposed pipeline that would carry more than 700,000 barrels of crude oil from the boreal forests of the Canadian province of Alberta to the oil refineries of Texas.
Love the President or hate him (or more likely, somewhere in between), you have to appreciate a man, who while under constant attack from the right and the left, maintains a sense of humor.
Kansas Speaker of the House Mike O'Neal sent an email to his Republican colleagues containing a shocking personal message with Bible verse Psalm 109 that he uses as a prayer for the assassination of President Obama.
In a video that should go viral, President Obama is shown singing 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga, a major supporter of LGBT rights.
Cenk Uygur speaks of 'this bill' as if NDAA was something new and cruel and unusual. In fact, the National Defense Authorization Act is the Department of Defense budget.
Many years ago, when I first learned of the Japanese internment camps, which were the result of an executive order by the progressive icon, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I became deeply conflicted. How can someone who I've come to revere make such an unjust decision?
Just after midnight in the tiny hamlet of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, 9 votes were tallied and the final result favored President Obama.
Even without a caption or accompanying commentary, this picture speaks volumes about the character of the subject.
'The 'squeaky wheel' we call the GOP signals more than an out of date, rusted, crusted, and old way of "doing things.' Then again, when white privilege is sought to be protected, the old way of doing things are the 'right' way of doing things.
Senate Republicans have been doing what Senate Republicans do best, obstructing the progress that Obama tries to accomplish. Today, the President took action. Expect more in the future.
Despite whining from the professional left, Wall Street donations make up a small part of Obama's funds. Mitt Romney's money, on the other hand, has come largely from Wall Street. Food for thought for those saying that both parties are the same. The true hypocrisy, as usual, comes from Ron Paul.
While President Obama's signing statement, issued on December 31, 2011, confirms that the Obama Administration is not going to use the NDAA to indefinitely detain US citizens, that statement does nothing to limit the ability of future Administrations to use the detention authority provided in the NDAA.
Eric Cantor appeared as Leslie Stahl's guest on 60 Minutes and did his best to whitewash, downplay, revise history, deny history, appear reasonable and 'humanize' his image . . . all in vain, I might add, for anyone who knows Cantor's record and what appears to be his rabidly personal animosity toward the...
With the inane clown posse Republican Iowa Caucus and State-wide primaries right around the corner, we can unequivocally expect a tsunami of phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things to said (especially if Bachmann makes it through Iowa). But in the mean time, it's important to look back and reflect on some of the phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic...
Is the Tea Party a haven for uneducated, gone to seed, white racists? Watch the video and decide for yourself.
2011 has been a banner year for the advancement of LGBT equality at the national, state, and local levels. Following are some of the highlights.
Remember when George W. Bush captured 40% of the hispanic vote? Remember when John McCain captured 31%? Well, according to a new poll, Mitt Romney only holds a scant 23% of hispanic voters while President Obama has a commanding 68%.
Many in this country, when we elected President Obama, thought we were electing a flaming liberal - and it's my belief that his ideology is left-leaning. But there's no trial ground for the presidency; there's no try-out period; there's no 90-day training program; there's no gauging what will crop up today, tomorrow, or next...
As 2011 comes to a close, conservatives are still trying to push failed policies. This is a list of 15 individual conservatives that pose a significant threat to American society as we move into 2012 and beyond.
It’s a defense mechanism known as the ‘gotcha’ question, and candidates like Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul have really taken this responsibility ducking mechanism to another level.
Earlier this week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and some of the other thoughtful, objective, intelligent pundits on Fox News who have so meritoriously dedicated their lives to objectively informing Americans of just the facts and news they need to know, appropriately took President Barack Obama to task for sending out a Christmas card...
Forget all the 'fighting the good fight' bravado from the Speaker of the House. Forget all the denials from congressional Republicans that they caved on their principles to “do the right thing.” Forget all of it. This was the political equivalent of the Alamo.
For much of the time that President Obama has been in the White House, it has become fashionable among a vocal subset of progressives to attack President Obama as a failure who does not share our progressive values.
The Republican Party have two options to go up against President Obama: Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney. When the Republican voters go out to the polls at the beginning of the year the majority of them will vote for a person who has a background that these voters blasted years ago.
Oh, the screaming and crying and gnashing of teeth at the pricetag for the Obama's approximately $4.1 million Hawaii vacation. You really gotta hand it to The Huffington Post, and its founder, politically schizophrenic Arianna Huffington who hasn't quite figured out what she wants to be when she grows up.
The U.S. Supreme Court has announced that it will hold oral arguments on March 26, 27, and 28 in the cases it has agreed to hear that challenge the constitutionality of President Obama's historic health care reform legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Maybe with Jong-il’s passing, the North Korea vs. South Korea narrative will finally change for the better.
What we’re witnessing here is a fundamental split within the Republican Party between the establishment and the rank and file. The establishment sees Gingrich and Paul as way too extreme, erratic and unelectable, while the rank and file – insert Tea Party here – sees them as personifying the very essence of what they...
As the world watched the last U.S. combat troops cross over the Iraqi border into Kuwait; one could easily be inclined to contemplate on what, by today’s standards, constitutes a failed presidency, since the Obama administration has been tagged with that label regularly.
I wish I could feel good about the National Defense Authorization Act, which is heading to the President's desk. I can't. On the other hand, there is a whole lot of hyperbole swirling around the internet, from even typically reasonable sources.
I loved hearing all those audience members cheer Governor Perry’s executions of U.S. citizens, some possibly innocent, in Texas. It makes our drone attacks seem downright humane. And Ron Paul’s comments about people on their death bed and Tea Party support for death panels bolsters national support for the health care plan we passed...
Racism can be funny in the hands of professional comedians. Teabagging amateurs should stick to what they know best, white hoods and burning crosses.
The Obama Administration made the right call recently when the State Department announced that it would undertake a new environmental review of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and alternative routes for the pipeline.
It's still very early in the election season, but in one major swing state and one fairly solidly red state, Newt is looking quite a bit better than Romney, the nearest Republican competitor, and Obama is looking better than either.
'Arbeit Macht Frei.' Literally translated, the words mean, 'Work makes (one) free.' Taken out of context, these words, while perhaps harshly industrialist, are innocent enough. However, history has placed these words in a very real, and for many, viscerally horrifying context.
According to a Republican strategist, Republican voters hate President Obama so much, that they would choose killing Obamacare over finding and killing the man who orchestrated the murder of 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001.
Appearing in Osawatomie, Kansas on Tuesday, President Obama gave a speech that should make just about any progressive proud. In the speech, our President addressed the 'raging debate over the best way to restore growth and prosperity, restore balance, restore fairness.'
A significant challenge facing the Obama Administration as it gears up for the 2012 re-election campaign is that the President is not positively defined in the minds of many voters. A look at the entire record of President Obama shows that he has been a pragmatist who, while far from perfect, has led our...
Over at the New York Times, Joe Nocera had a column entitled 'We Can All Become Job Creators' in which he praised Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz for two recent proposals regarding jobs and politics.
Back in June, Wisconsin Congressman (and noted Randian Philospher), Paul Ryan, referred to the President's middle class targeted payroll tax cut as 'sugar high economics.'
It's always fun to go through some quick facts about the budget because it's sure to stir up the Republican noise machine when they realize the bullet points don't line up with what Fox News has been telling them. Let the fun begin!
Last week we got a glimpse of how the GOP will again resort to Andrew Breitbart type advertisements for political advantage. The 30 second anti-Obama commercial included a clip of then candidate Obama quoting John McCain during the 2008 campaign.
The President does not represent one religion or one group of Americans. He represents all Americans of every religion. Besides, in each of the last two previous Thanksgivings, President Obama mentioned God. So it really isn't a big deal that he didn't do it this time around. One thing is for certain though. The...
Only a jive turkey would criticize President Obama’s Thanksgiving Day speech because he didn’t mention God enough or at all, whichever makes the conservative rooster crow the loudest!
As a proud veteran of the United States Armed Forces, I cannot allow this Thanksgiving Day to pass without special acknowledgement and thanks to President Obama.
Flash forward to 2008 and the GOP once again relied on its misguided belief that it is the king of killing terrorists. The GOP plan of attack on then-candidate Barack Obama was simple: pound him relentlessly as soft on terrorism, weak on foreign policy and antagonistic toward the military.
Republican politics has reached the lowest of low. The new Romney ad is not only an Andrew Breibart-type creation, it demeans the mentality and integrity 0f the social/political right.
Before you take your seat at the family table this Thanksgiving to stuff yourself full of food, take a moment to be thankful for the Food Safety Modernization Act. In response to many food borne outbreaks, the 111th Congress passed the act at the end of 2010 and it was signed by President Obama...
He may still win the Republican nomination, but right now it can't be a lot of fun being Mitt Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts has been running for president for about six years now, so it's not like he's waiting to be discovered. Still, he is essentially stuck with a polling ceiling of...
President Obama has as much support among the constituency that makes up his base as any modern President running for a second term.
Our current political environment is toxic and that fact was demonstrated loudly and clearly at yesterday's NASCAR Sprint Cup finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
America's Right-wing, or at least its rank-and-file, fancies itself as patriotic, compassionate, law-abiding citizens upholding the traditional values that built this nation—essentially, they see themselves as the modern-day equivalent to say, Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys. And in one respect, they may be correct.
George Washington understood that dealing with debt was the government's responsibility, but leaders would be unlikely to make unpopular choices in a democracy unless the public was both enlightened and understanding: "The execution of these maxims belongs to your representatives," he said -- meaning the members of Congress.
Michele Bachmann is still alive and apparently running for president, which means she’s obliged to say insane things. Whether she’s touting the benefits of waterboarding (listening to Bachmann speak apparently violates the Geneva Conventions as well) or pulling a Palin and lashing out at the big bad liberal media, logic can only dictate the oval office should impose a restraining order on...
And then the topic turned to torture - whether the U.S. should engage in it, what the definition of it is, and whether waterboarding is torture. Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman firmly believe it is wrong, and diminishes the United States. The others . . . not so much.
The anti-union law was set up to severely limit the bargaining abilities of 350,000 unionized public workers. With more than a quarter of the votes counted late Tuesday, 63 percent of votes were to reject the law. Even more impressive, it seems more people voted "no" on Ohio bill 5 than who voted "yes"...
James Dobson, the bilious and hateful demagogue leader of church hate group "Focus on the Family", is saying God doesn't want a second Obama term.
